Passage 1
【2021年新高考全国Ⅰ 卷】My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.____36____So the first thing
we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to
leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing ( 水 管 )
worked. ____37____Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in
perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a
couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. ____38____ French strawberries do not taste like
cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
____39____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some
groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed
they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency.
You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are always crowded.____40____When do these people work? The
French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a
group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A. Not all the customers are tourists.
B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
Passage2
【2021年浙江卷6月】You've got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightlycolored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. ___11___
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while,
you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it ___12___ ” Seeking other like-
minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is
a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com, a social network that has grown to 575,217
registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. ___13___ Running the website has
almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a harrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common
communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a
postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. ___14___ So a common
language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. ___15___ That said, we know of many
postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of
postcrossing," Paulo says.
A. And that's totally fine
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
2019年阅读理解七选五(记叙文等)
Passage1
【2019年北京卷】Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成)in teams. Most people believe
the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals._____46_____Companies
spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent？
___47___They focused on football，basketball and baseball. The results are mixed For football and
basketball，adding talented players to a team proves a good method，but only up to the point where 70% of the
players are top talent；above that level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly，this trend isn’t
evident in baseball. where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.To explain this phenomenon，the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team
requires its members to coordinate(协调)their actions.______48______In baseball，the performance of individual
players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high，team performance
will suffer when there is too much talent，while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance
when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is. for example，trying to gain a high personal point total，
he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate，affecting the team's
performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told，“There is no I in TEAM.”___49___
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team，some players may make less effort. Just as
in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛)，whenever a person is added，everyone else pulls the rope with less force.
___50___.An A-team may require a balance-not just A players，but a few generous B players as well.
A. It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.
B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent
C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention.
D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.
F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.
G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.
2017年阅读理解七选五(记叙文等)
Passage1
【2017年新课标Ⅰ卷】If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my
weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect
bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 3 6
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 3 7 We slept
in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the
bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad
case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38
Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends
had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailercomplete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a
refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I
recommend that you find your way in style.
A. This time there was no tent.
B. Things are going to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

Five Things Nobody Told Me about College
As I type this, I am in my university dorm room. A year ago, when I was awaiting to hear the results of my
college applications, I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like.
However, there’s only so much that prep books, websites, and older friends can teach. Here are the top 5 things
nobody told me about college:
61.
Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study. If they tell you otherwise, they’re lying
and will probably change what they want to pursue within the first quarter of attendance. During my first quarter at
University of California, Riverside(UCR), I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on
International Affairs, so that’s what I applied for. However, once I worked with statewide and local government, I
realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy, and now I am in the process of changing my area.62.
In college, there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations. However, there is a very
important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something. In order for you to take full
advantage of the conferences, research, internships(实习), and fellowships that your university offers, apply! Step
into your academic advisor’s office, introduce yourself, and begin making the valuable connections that are
necessary to help during the rest of your college career. Great things happen when you step out of your comfort
zone, and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.
63.
College is where you meet your bridesmaids, groomsmen, neighbors, and potential bosses. The relationships
you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later, so be wise about the people who you invest
yourself in. You are only one person, and you do not have time to waste on people who would rather cause drama
or mess up with your purpose. Surround yourself with uplifting individuals who challenge you to be better while
loving you for who you are, and be patient to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.
64.
As a first-year, I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed. It was not until I became
involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I created with the help of
ASUCR Office of the President. During my first quarter, I spoke directly to the Chancellor(校长), asking him for
support towards my initiatives(提议), met with the Vice Chancellors, and cooperated with my teaching assistants to
begin my undergraduate research project. Nothing good will happen when you are silent.
65.
At my high school, there were about only four active clubs and organizations that students could be a part of.
Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s campus, where over 400 organizations exist, ranging from
political organizations to karate club. You are not paying all of your tuition(学费) to merely go to class, study, pass
tests and graduate. Make something worthy out of your experience. Create stories that you will want to tell your
grandchildren one day. It all begins here, by signing up to join an organization.

“If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”
